Solve for y 2(y+5)=x

$2 (y + 5) = x$

Step 1

Divide each term in $2 (y + 5) = x$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 (y + 5) = x$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 (y + 5)}{2} = \frac{x}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 (y + 5)}{2} = \frac{x}{2}$

Divide $y + 5$ by $1$ .

$y + 5 = \frac{x}{2}$

Step 2

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = \frac{x}{2} - 5$
